colors & symbolism: any connection?

here it states the Douglas is a variation of Black Douglas replacing red with white. Interesting.

Yes, the Modern Douglas is just a colored version of the older Black Douglas. There's no meaning to the green and blue colors, they just look pretty. But the original tartan, the one in black, is said to have been colored that way because of the family name, which came from the land's water, which I am assuming was dark and foreboding.
